Hi Folks, any experts that can answer, what I hope will be an easy question. I have a 64' deluxe reverb. A real one, not the reissue. I've had it since the late 70's. It does not have the "Fender" badge on the front. I see on the reissues, they do have the badge, so I was just wondering when Fender started putting the badge on them?

Thanks,
Don

Initially, none of Fender's blackface "student" amps featured the Fender logo on the baffle board (Champ, Vibro Champ, Princeton, Princeton Reverb, Deluxe, Deluxe Reverb, plus a handful of '64 Vibrolux Reverb's). Factory-installed logos began to appear sometime in mid-to-late '65, starting with the Deluxe and Deluxe Reverb models. By 1966 all of the entry-level amps were so fitted.

Thanks Retroverbial. I was told something like that years ago. I was kinda thrown off because the 64 reissues DO have the badge.

Indeed they do, erroneously (as regards to history).

But you're fortunate to own a genuine pre-CBS specimen. Only a few are so blessed.

Enjoy!

Hard to believe Fender ever referred to the Deluxe/Deluxe Reverb as a student model!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Who knew that vintage Deluxe Reverbs would today be commanding close to three large?
